roboto Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 What happened with the Diallo link? Played a friendly, appeared to be added to the squad on official site, then disappeared and nothing heard of him since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteroseram Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 CDM I'd agree ideally we'd have extra cover, but personally I'd probably be looking for someone who offeres somthing else too to justify the extra numbers. Whether they're between the U21s and seniors, whether it versitility (like Smith) or whether they're good to have around the club (like Stearman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he had committed to other trials before making his mind up. I could have stopped at dunno, but not very polite is it? Didn't realise he made it to official site, weird.

YouRams Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Has Wisdom signed for Pompey? Would be pure fear from the first whistle if you're a left sided player coming up against NML and Wiz! jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trav Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Ah here we are again! Been told that Dobbin and Joseph are “pretty much done”. Kevin McDonald being brought into the club to play a similar role to Stearman and McDonald will be mentoring Bird and Robinson and this season will aim for Darren Robinson to be a first teamer. Told Knight won’t leave unless a big bid comes in. Knight doesn’t want to leave but cannot be playing in league 1 for ages. Not 100% confirmed this but apparently there’s a gentleman’s agreement with Knight saying that if we’re not up there in the league he will be allowed to leave. Rosenior is pushing hard for Knight and Bird on new deals too. Carnero, Will Hughes Hair, inter politics and 18 others 13 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteroseram Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Are Joseph and Dobbin both forwards? So Colins, McGoldrick, Dobbin, Joseph, Stretton Unless we're using Joseph as a right wing back (apparently has been known) then I'd only be going for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add Sibley, NML and Barkhuizen to the 5 you’ve mentioned then that’s 8 players to cover four positions, or 2 per position on average which is about right. We’ll have a couple more who can fill in from the U23s if needed too, such as George Nunn. Don’t forget there’s 5 subs permitted per match now, so there’s more scope to give more players more game time. Having more options to change things mid-game when things aren’t going our way definitely isn’t a bad thing.

BucksRam Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Didn't know where to leave this but just wanted to make a general observation as I catch up with the various threads. Isn't it flipping great to be talking about football again! Clowes' brilliant interview, our first win in the league, replaying Hourihane's winner 20 times, discussing who's best suited for what position, what players are still to come in and do we want / need them. It's been too long coming. Dunno about everyone else, I'm loving everything I'm seeing and hearing. Well, apart from @Turk Thrust's joke in the New Joke Thread earlier. A proper "taxi" moment.

Yep, it's positively uplifting when I remember the stress of not knowing where the next hammer blow was coming from. It must be fantastic for the staff too.

If he gets injured or out of form then we have nothing else and would end up playing the dreadful false 9 again (which in old money is we haven’t got a centre forward so have to play someone who can kind of do that job but not really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
